Thanks guys - I knew I was ok to CC (i have a permit) in the national forest, but the wilderness areas kind of confused me.
When I'm hiking, two things that are always coming with me are a gun and my amateur radio handheld. I've been carrying in my pack - agreed, it's not the preferable way to carry, but i'd rather have it there than nowhere.
The safepacker looks awesome - like a place for binoculars, a camera, maps, gps - to most folks on the trail, anything but a gun holster!
I just hope that they open up national parks to carrying. That would open up a lot more opportunity for me....
